Its so boring. The characters are bland theres no story to speak of the comedy is ass what is there to say i hated it it sucked fucking ass. I hate cute girls doing cute things and this is an especially bad case. Its just a slice of life of these 3 girls the problem is All the characters our one note stereotypes the comedy is as unfunny as ever even the opening is bad. The only saving grace is that the entire show is only 30 minutes. You might like it if it's your thing but for me its ass.

This anime was very stupid. I mean that positively!
A series of 3-minute funny shorts about three girls, this anime accomplishes what it sets out to be (silly, fun, and easy-to-watch) very well.
The animation was nice, fairly smooth, and the artstyle has a cute and fun feeling that matches the series nicely. The girls designs were nothing unique, but I didn't mind--they were easy to distinguish and suited their personalities.
The voice acting was notably good too, feeling very natural and pleasant to listen to, which was a nice bonus!
If you just watched a depressing anime, or are feeling low, I reccomending watching Aiura! Its a fun little mood-boosting anime, with a surprisingly sweet final episode to round things off with a nice warm feeling as well.

Aiura is one of the most boring anime about "Cute girls doing absolutely nothing" that I have ever seen.
There is not much history as such, they are just girls doing everyday things. This anime pretends to be "funny" when in reality the only thing it achieves is being boring and cringe. Characters are characterized by just one or two archetypal things
In terms of animation and music it's ok.
There really is not much more I can say about this anime, it is one of the many, I prefer azumanga daioh much better (another anime of girls doing nothing that at least sometimes makes me laugh)
Story (2/10), Art and sound (5/10), Characters (2/10), Enjoyment (1/10) and Overall (2/10)

Aiura delivers on what it promises, providing a comedic, slice-of-life look at the lives of three high-school aged girls in short, digestible segments.
The jokes are full of biting sarcasm and wit, a welcome deferral from the bombastic, and oftentimes over-the-top comedic style so commonplace in anime. Beautiful watercolor backdrops bring a breath of fresh air to what would otherwise be a tired, and overused setting for a show.
Despite the short run time of each episode, the writers bring depth and clarity to each characters personality, and define them well within the show. Catchy opening and closing tracks are the perfect compliment to a fun, and adorable show that can be enjoyed in its entirety over a single Sunday afternoon.

It is hard to gauge a rating for such a short series. Aiura is a set of 12 episodes spanning 3 minutes each. It is set in high school and focuses on three female students as they become friends through a fairly regular set of events. The show is great for some quick, light-hearted fun/comedy and can scratch that itch when you're keen on watching some slice of life. However, there isn't much depth to the show, as one would expect having a 36 minute run time. Hence, it is unlikely that Aiura will leave a lasting impression on you. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the show is bad either. The production quality is just as good as any other 12-26 episode series, which can especially be seen in the voices for the three main leads.
For anyone who has watched shows like this before, this may…

Aiura is a four minute long, twelve episode slice of life series, about the interactions between three high school girls.
Well that's all there is to the story, its just the day to day conversations that the three girls have with each or some of the side characters have in each episode. That's what I like most about this series, the main three girls interactions all felt natural and had some funny moments that were performed very well by their voice actors. The major draw for a slice of life anime, for me personally, is if I can like the main characters and I do, they were cute, sometimes acted funny but felt like a group of friends just joking around and hanging out with each other.
The animation was another surprised to how well done it was for something only a few minutes long, with…

Story: no real story too this just a 3 girls who have stuff going on at school like adventures and stuff
Art: Art was kinda neat too me
Sound: just like art was very good to me nothing bad about it
Characters: with this you really only get 3 characters but the girls were pretty nothing bad about them at all
Enjoyment: now this one is a tough one for me because the comedy really wasn't there for me but i think this is the type of anime to sit back relax and enjoy watching
Overall: i give this a 7 because it was enjoyable too watch even though the comedy was crap but like i said i did enjoy it for what it was also its a 4min episode anime nothing wrong with that but yeah i did enjoy this anime for what it was

Story:
As most SoL's go, nothing really happens. However, Aiura does a good job of having nothing happen in a comfortable, realistic manner. Nothing all that extraordinary happens, nothing feels out of place, and everything seems seemingly plausible. It never tries hard to get a punch line across. Rather, it tells sorts of jokes you and your friends might experience. Laid back, relaxing, chuckle-worthy humor that becomes an inside joke for the next few years. It's all quite enjoyable, and it never feels stilted or rehearsed. Everything is fluid and organic in this work.
Art:
Beautiful backdrops, smooth animation, Aiura looks fantastic. I'm talking excellent. The only issue I had was one frame seemed unfinished, and there were a few reused shots, albeit recolored characters.
Sound:

Aiura is a short anime series. It's around ~4 minutes tops.
Half of that is the opening and ending, which I think is ridiculous and kinda cheap. It's already super short, the music cuts that in half. The songs aren't unique or anything, just standard high school slice of life stuff, which makes it even more frustrating.
That said, Aiura is really cute. I definitely think this show panders to some demographic I'm not a part of, because it's overly sweet. Nevertheless, I like it for being cute. I'd like it more if it weren't ONLY cute. The characters have no depth, so if you were looking for that you'd have to look someplace else.
I know it probably doesn't matter to anyone but me, but there's a teacher who wore a student uniform and speaks with a high pitched voice. Definitely pandering.…

Story: This anime is very short because it's twelve four-minute episodes, so it doesn't have much story to it. I like story as much as the next person, but because this is about the lives of three best friends in high school, I really don't mind it at all. Though there are moments that I ask myself why a certain scene exists, I just don't focus on it as much. With that said, I rate this portion a 9/10.
Art: Unless the stuff I usually watch, this anime is very cutesy in art. The style is much simpler than the styles used in anime such as Black Bullet, Ouran, and all that stuff. Still, I love it all the same because I don't see anything that's annoying. It also gives my eyes a break from not seeing so many things in one place, you know. 10/10
Sound: The beginning theme, I just skip over be…

I dived into this 66 minute show amidst glowing reviews, expecting a short and sweet morsel of slice of life that you really don't see in your typical 12 episode series. I was wrong.
While the show runs for 12 episodes and has a total running time of 66 minutes, the actual show itself, barring the repeated use of OPs and EDs boils down to only 32 minutes of ACTUAL content.
And while the art and voice direction is very polished, the whole thing is soiled by a disappointing display of mediocre slice of life that surprises no one. There's absolutely nothing new here if you're even remotely familiar with the genre. Many have been quick to defend this show on account of the girls' beautifully rotoscoped interactions with their legwear, but even that doesn't do enough to distract from the disa…

To be fair, this series is very short (3 minutes per episode with the OP taking up 1 minute each time) so I forgive it for not having much content in it.
...Though that excuse is thrown out the window when you spend each episode making 3 jokes at the most that fall flat due to late reactions, idiotic faces and just flat out boring interaction between the characters. None of the three main girls feel like they have much to offer except when combined with the other two for support. The side characters are just there to fill in roster spots and the setting is your normal everyday Japanese.
To be honest, there's not much to say about this show. It was one of those "here's your daily dose of moe" shows that you watched between episodes of longer shows that season, and that was pretty much it…

Aiura is a very pleasant, short slice of life series. Each episode is only 4 minutes long so it's a great time-killer and mood lifter.
Story:
The "story" consists of three girls who share the first semester of high school together. Don't even worry about it since it's obviously not the point of this show.
Art:
Relaxing atmosphere, nice use of colors, the actual animation isn't bad at all. For a short series, it's incredibly well-made. The aesthetic will probably remind people of KyoAni's Lucky Star and Nichijou, but the actual presentation and execution is evocative of Ichigo Marshmallow (to the point where there's an explicit visual reference).
Sound:
Again, calm and relaxing for the most part. OP was fun, ED is sweet. Moods are captured well in this show. Voice acting is phenomenal, e…

Anime shorts are quickly becoming a new trend in the industry, and while quite a few people see them as nothing more than annoyances and most times space consuming drivel, it really isn’t the case, as they more than in one way help to promote the industry. They can be viewed as akin to indie developers, there are a lot of animation studios in japan but not all of them have the manpower or prowess to continuously dish out 24 minute episodes for 12 weeks. Shorts give a chance for the smaller studios to make a name for themselves using very limited resources, and just as ‘The Walking Dead’, an indie game, won the 2012 VGA, some smaller companies are capable of producing something special.
One of the rules of writing is never to use a single word several times in your work in relation to its…

Aiura to me was a really random show. The show itself is only like 3 minutes since it had an opening and ending song. There is not plot what so every in this anime. Everything seemed really random and funny at the same time. It had its moments and downsides. If you plan to watch this don't expect much from it unless you are killing time.

"Think Crabing."
I really enjoyed Aiura. The characters are great, i love the opening song and even though nothing really happens, this anime made my day. Too bad that the episodes are so short thou. This is a slice of life anime about 3 girls doing random things. :D Anyone who likes short anime series or wants to watch funny and random "not so serious" anime, should definitely watch this! But if you are looking for anime that has some kind of depth in it, i suggest you to forget this anime.

This was a calm anime, and it does it well.
Story: 3/10
Yes, its a short anime, but it had no progression at all. It was just the most basic of basic SoL.
Art: 9/10
The style was very good, and everything was detailed. It added to the calm atmosphere. Very soothing colours, no bright or vivid colours. andfluid animation to boot. Plus, DEM THIGHS. Almost perfect. Also Steve Jobs in the OP, WAT?
Sound: 8/10
Nothing spectacular, but the ED was soothing, and the OP was catchy. Character: 5/10
Really didn't flesh out anyone, so took no liking to anyone. But nothing bad.
Enjoyment: 8/10
Kept me sane throughout the weeks. Twas enjoyable
Overall: 6.6/10 --> 7/10

First show this season that I finished, and I liked it. Sure it's only 4 minutes and you can finish it in less than an hour, but I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be a very fun hour. Aiura will just keep you in a good mood, and for that alone I recommend it. Each episode has a different story from the rest, but each one is pretty funny, and none of them are bad. The characters are all very funny, all 3 of them (plus the teacher, who is like the second best teacher ever). I'm sure you'll like all three girls. The animation is very nice, and I like the character designs. The best part of this show though, is its opening. This is one of my favorite openings, simply for the fact that it combines crabs and Steve Jobs. The randomness! The best part is that that Jobs died of cancer, which the cr…
